Day 3

[CavMan83]

Notsop,

I'm with Ginet....girl knows what the heck she's talking about. Remember this SUCK....learn from it. You're undoing a quarter century of poisoning yourself. Even AFTER the nicotine physically leaves your body, it takes between 6 and 12 weeks for your brain to rewire itself....for 25 years you've been pumping it full of enough nicotine on a daily basis to kill a small rodent (think gerbil, mouse, etc...) READ as much as you can on these pages....there is a ton of info on how to deal with the SUCK.

I'm still waiting on the night when I'm able to sleep through without waking up 3-4 times...at least now I no longer wake up in a cold sweat (small victories). You have to do this daily: Post roll, give yourself and your Sultan Brothers your word you won't use nicotine today...build a community of support that won't allow you to cave....check your PM.

We're all in this boat together bud....some of us have been "rowing" a bit longer than others, that's all. we are ALL addicts....

Proud to quit with you today, tomorrow, and every day that follows.

I'm right there with ya. On day 4 myself and got my first major craving around 10 am today. I was pretty excited because I realized I no longer craved it constantly. Better days are ahead, just quit one day at a time like everyone says.

Hey y'all. Been dipping 25 years and today is day 3 of quitting. It sucks so bad. I can't do anything. I want dip. I need dip. I can't concentrate because most of my thoughts revolve around dip. I can't sleep. I sweat constantly. Someone please tell me this gets easier. This is seriously one the hardest things I've ever had to do. Thanks

It will get better my friend. Keep pushing through. The poison just don't give your life back to you willingly. The first 3 or 4 is the hardest they say. To me The first 3 to 4 weeks sucked to be honest. I remember feeling tons better in the 40's.

Water, water and more water. Exercise and anything else you can do to keep the blood flowing. When your not doing much read, read and read. Get to know this enemy, it knows you. Learn everything you can on addiction/niccotine. Learning will build hate and hate will feed your quit.

I know things are difficult, but there is one thing that you can always rely on. Once roll is posted I don't care how bad things get. I don't care how long it lasts. Me and 1000's expect you to keep your word. You expect the same thing. Cave is off the table so that's one less problem to worry about.

After time you will want to kick yourself right in the a@@ for ever putting the poison in your pie hole. Life is so much better without it,, you got my word on that.

So trying to not be a total bitch......you are in the suck....I get it. So, some day, you will hate nicotine. Hate that you ever used that shit at all. Hate to hear things like "I want dip" "I need dip". Those words will make you sick. Some day, you will read this again and be so pissed at how your addict brain worked. Now you will always be an addict, but you will think clearly and live fully......some day. "It sucks so bad" because it has to. If it doesn't, you will never remember it and you will not have a problem with going back through it. Hate these days. Remember that if you keep your word today, you never have to go back to the days of "it sucks so bad". You put yourself here and you have to get yourself out of it. This is just part of that journey. Does it get better....yes, a little bit each day. You will hear people say "it sucks until it doesn't". Sleeping all messed up? Ah....that is easy. Yes, sleep will get back to normal. The other side of that coin is that if you don't stay quit, you may just die and then you can sleep for a really long time.....like an eternity. I know for you, right now, this is pure hell. I am glad it is so awful and that you hate it because I want you to remember it. This is evil shit. Battle on. Crush this today. Stay quit. You will love that you battled hard and fought to save your life, if not now......some day. Check your inbox (top right).

Until I hear from you, I will just be here, quitting like a girl.

Glad to see you on roll promising us all that you will not use nicotine today. Remember today, and the rest of the SUCK, because you will never have to do it again if you post roll everyday and remain quit.

I though I needed dip too. I needed it to drive long distances, mow the lawn, take a dump, and swing a golf club poorly. Guess what? My lawn mower runs just fine w/o a dip in, the car still drives as far as I want it to with disgusting my wife and kids, I still poop 2 times a day like a champ, and I still get lots of 7's and 8's when I golf. Amazing how I didn't need a cancer causing agent to live my life.

Wow, some great support here in this intro already. I too, can promise you it does get better. But you have to stay quit today. Then do it again tomorrow. I don't know when you will start feeling better. I can promise you that if you stay quit you will not regret this. I'm quitting like a girl too today!

I'm on day 4 and I'm right there with you guys. One day at a time! I did sleep a little better last night. This sucks but we got to keep plowing on! We can do this!!

[cshightower]

Hang in there brother. I'm on day 2, and I know exactly what you are going through. I couldn't sleep last night either. Drink some water, and find something to keep you busy.
